Waitress In The Sky Lyrics

Artist: The Replacements
Album: Tim

She don't wear no pants and she don't wear no tieAlways on the ball, she's always on strikeStruttin' up the aisle, big deal, you get to flyYou ain't nothin' but a waitress in the skyYou ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky

Paid my fare, don't wanna complainYou get to me, you're always outta champagneTreat me like a bum, don't wear no tie'cause you ain't nothin' but a waitress in the skyYou ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky

And the sign says, "Thank you very much for not smoking"My own sign says, "I'm sorry, I'm smokin'"Don't treat me special, don't kiss my assTreat me like the way they treat 'em up in first class

Sanitation expert and a maintenance engineerGarbage man, a janitor and you my dearA real union flight attendant, my oh myYou ain't nothin' but a waitress in the skyYou ain't nothin' but a waitress in the skyYou ain't nothin' but a waitress in the sky

by left of the dial on 1/28/2009 1:07pmMy own says "sorry I'm smoking"

God these guys got me through high school, parents divorce, juvee hall, two friends that became meth heads and zits.

by Mara on 7/31/2010 3:44pmCorrections:2nd verse, 4th line:"But you aint nothing but a a waitress in the sky."4th verse, 3rd line:"Reunion flight attendant, my oh my."

by Jan Holvoet on 9/5/2011 3:28amHi Jimmy, there's an alternative outtake where he sings "At the reunion 'flight attendant', my oh my. Meaning that at some high school reunion or other she answers 'flight attendant' to the obvious question "So what are you doing nowadays ..."

by noah on 11/8/2011 4:00pmJan, you're wrong. the line above about being on strike clearly shows it should be real union in any context, take or version.

by Donger on 11/14/2011 5:59pmYou had two friends who became zits?

by Ashwin on 10/15/2012 11:10amThey were as good as the Stones and the Beatles but they were too scared to pass their gods.Or they knew they were good but money,fame adulation didn't impress them much,,that was enough for them.

by LPC on 3/20/2014 9:17pmLOL---Great Band! Westerberg is a genius writer. Just didn't get his due. Many bands emulated after. Classic song to his sister who was a flight attendant.

by BillMcKidd on 6/16/2015 3:21amI love the Replacements and Westerberg, but the reason they didn't get their due was simply due to them being addicts/alcoholics. They would show up at gigs unable even to play.
